About me
Allegedly discovered Wikipedia in November of 2006 and has since contributed a number of times, though hopes to improve Wikipedia over time by contributing to and even starting articles about various subjects. I'm a second year Criminal Justice student at Charles Sturt University with aspirations of becoming a police officer in the future. I am also a volunteer rural fire fighter in my spare time, away from university life.
My interests include photography, electronics, computers and programming; procrastination, weather (meteorology) and some light reading. Definitely not physically inclined, but working on it, to be a proficient cop and fire fighter.

Photography
Gear
My foray into photography started quite a few years ago when I was given an Olympus mju-600 digital camera for Christmas. This was a great camera and served me quite well, though I didn't take any brilliant shots with it, unfortunately. I picked up a second hand Fujifilm FinePix S5200/S5600 as my next toy, keen on toying with different manual settings, and being able to shoot in RAW and which I did with quite a bit of success. I then managed to pick up an Olympus E-520 and a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 for a pittance which is now my main camera. Excellent camera and was well worth the (quite minimal) investment that I picked it up for. I also have an OM system 50mm f/1.8 and OM system 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 as well to complement it. Both are excellent to learn a dSLR with (since you're forced to use manual settings, with a converter ring) and which the 14-42mm complements if I need fully automated shooting or fast moving subjects.
Licensing
You may or may not notice that various images I submit to Wikimedia Commons are duplicated on Flickr, a high resolution and low-resolution version. I disagree with the stance on disallowing CC-NC provisions but still want to contribute to Wikipedia, so this was the best way. I would waive the NC provision for the Wikimedia Foundation (since I am able to do that) but unfortunately this is not an option.

Rewrite and improve, using sources such as this to improve Wikipedia's coverage of hazardous chemical transport, storage and HAZMAT fire-fighting policy. Redirect the Kemler Code to this, with citation linking the two names.
Not in progress (yet).
